> But now that we are there we devalue these acomplishements because we know how to do them, and still don't know how to do general AI. One man's modus ponens is another man's modus tollens. Why are you so certain of that in light of all the achievements you listed, most of which were not predicted to happen even a decade ago? Did someone release a mathematical proof that large NNs can't be intelligent while I wasn't looking? Did aliens arrive and tell us that no, AGI just doesn't look anything like what we're doing? How would the world right now look any different if we were on a route towards AGI in a decade or two, keeping in mind that we are still roughly at the 'insect' level on the various connectionist extrapolations and still aspiring towards 'mouse' levels?
